TAN K-HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 703,087, dated June 24, 1902.

Application filed Marol113,l902.

T0 @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY H. SCHENK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Memphis, in the county of Scotland, State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tank-Heaters, of which the following is a specification.

rlhis invention relates to improvements in tank-heaters, in which I use oil or gas for fuel, or I can use hard coal.

"he object of this invention is to make a simple, strong, and durable tank-heater that does not need much attention to keep it going for several days after starting. provide a convenient and safe place for the oil-supply tank, where it can be easily refilled. Byhaving the casing cast in one piece I provide a heater that will not leak. By examining the accompanying drawings and specification it will be seen that I attain these objects.

Figure l is a vertical section of the heater on line y y, Fig. 3. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view of the entire heater ou line a; Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view. l

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout.

The casing l, partition 2, the downwardextending partition 3, and the slide-partition guides le are all cast in one piece. Slide partition 4 acts as a damper and shuts oft more or less air from combustion-chamber 8, containing burner 6, after which the heated air escapes around the end of partition 2 and out through chamber 7 as indicated by arrows,

thereby getting the greatest amount of heat I also Serial No. 98,131. (No model l out of a given quantity of fuel in a small space and in a cheap and easy way. The slide partition 5 slides in groove .14 and separates the air-chamber 9 from the hot-air-escape chamber '7. Said partition 5 is shown in Fig. l as partly raised and can be taken out when necessary. Oil-supply tank 10 is hung in chamber 9 by hangers I3. Said tank hasa lling-cap l5 and a faucet 1l at its lower end, which allows the oil to drip in funnel 12, secured to burner 6.

It is obvious that either oil, gas, or a com? mon lamp may slight modiieations coal may chamber 9.

Having thus fully shown and described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A tank-heater comprising a casing, said casing divided into a combined fuel and air chamber; a combustion-chamber and an exitiiue; a pendent partition between the airchamber and combustion-chamber; a rearwardly extending partition separating the combustion chamber and the exit iiue; grooved guides within the casing; a partition slidably mounted in certain of said guides between the air-chamber and exit-flue and a damper slidably mounted in certain of said guides between the air-chamber and the combustion-chamber.
